HOT-WATER ATTACHMENT FOR STOVES.

Application'filed August7, 1922. Serial No. 580,371.

.70 all whom it may concern Be it known that T, OSCAR EVENSON, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Rio, in the county of Columbia and State of 5 Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in HotNVater Attachments for Stoves; and I dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof;

This invention relates to hot water attach-- ments for stoves, and is particularly directed to an attachment adapted to be applied to a standard stove, such as an oil stove or gas stove.

Objects of this invention are to provide a hot water attachment for a stove having a series of upwardly directed burners, and a top plate, which will cooperate with said stove in a manner to minimize the changes necessary to adapt the stove to the attachment; which has an elongated heating chamber adapted to be placed between the burners and the top plate, such plate being provided with a series of walled openings therethru aligned with such burners; and which is provided with a storage reservoir carried by, and in communication with said heating chamber.

A further object is to provide a hot water attachment for a stove, so constructed that the heating chamber will overbalance the storage reservoir, so that such reservoir may be carried by a portion of the heating chamber, and may project beyond the outline of such stove without danger of the attachments falling from the stove.

An embodiment of th invention is shown in the accompanying drawing, in which,

Figure lis a transverse sectional elevation thru a stoveequipped with the attachment forming the subject matter of this invention, such view corresponding to a section on the line 11 of Figure 2.

Figure 2 is a plan view, partly broken used in its modified form with the attachment away of the structure shown in Figure 1.

The device is adapted to be applied to standard stoves and is so designed that a minimum of changes are necessary for adapting the stove to the attachment. It is adapted to be applied to a stove comprising a box-like casing having end portions 1 and 2, a top plate 3, and a row of burners 4. Such stove may be either an oil burning stove or a gas stove, and the device is adapted'to cooperate with said stove to allow all ofthe burners to be used, while at the same time, providing an adequate supply of hot water.

The attachment comprises a relatively thin elongated heating chamber, having upper andlower walls 5 and 6, and provided with a series of walled openings Tin alignment with the burners 4. This attachment is adapted to extend lengthwiseover the .burners, and to project beyond the end portion 2. The projecting portion of the heating chamber has unitarily formed therewith, a storage reservoir 8 provided with a spigot 9 and a hinged cover 10to permit the ready filling of such attachment. The elongated heating chamber is adapted to be supported at one end upon a flange 11, which may be readily attached to the stove casing, and at the other end to be supported upon a recessed portion of the wall 2, such recessed portion being.

preferably provided with an outwardly turned flange 12. The top plate 3 is adapted to rest upon the top of the heating chamber and upon the top margins of the stove casing.

It is to be noted that the width of the heating chamber is greater than thewidth of the reservoir, as may be seen from Figure 2. This provides a shoulder adjacent the point of union between the reservoir and the heating chamber and such shoulder is so positioned as to adapt it for cooperation with one of the end walls of the stove as "may be seen from Figure 2. t This construction provides an additional means for locking the heating chamber against endwise sliding motion and aids in the secure and firm positioning of the apparatus.

It will be seen that the changes necessary for adapting the stove to the attachment are very insignificant, as it is merely necessary to provide the flange 11 and to turn a portion downwardly from the opposite end of the stove to provide the flange l2 and to provide a received portion. 7

It will also be seen that the stove may be I ing about the end portion 2 and falling from the stove, and is, therefore at all times, firmly and securely retained in position.

It will be seen, therefore, that an extremely simple and effective hot water attachment has been provided for a stove equipped with burners, and that such attachment may be readily appliedto the stove, and may be produced at a small manufacturing cost.

I claim:

1. In combination, a stove having a boxlike casing, a row of burners therein, a top plate, and an interior flange one end of said casing spaced below its top edge, said casing having a recessed portion at its other end; and a hot Water atacliment comprising an elongated rectangular, thin, heating chamber removably supported at one end upon said flange, extending lengthwise over said burners, and projecting at its other end thru said recessed portion, said chamber having a plurality of Walled openings aligning With said burners, and a storage reservoir forming an extension of, and in communication with, said projecting portion and overbalanced by said elongated heating chamber.

2. A hot Water attachment for a stove ha:- ing a row of upwardly directed burners and top plate, said attachment comprising an elongated, thin heating chamber having a row of Walled openings extending therethrough and adapted to be positioned ZLbOVQ the burners and beneath the top plate of the stove with the openings aligning with the burners, andv an ui pright reservoir of lesser width than said heating chamber and integrally joined to one end therooi, whereby a shoulder is formed adjacent the junction said heating chamber and said reservoir.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand at Rio, in the county of Columbia and State of lVisconsin.

OSCAR EVENSON.
